When Someone Lies about You
Being lied about is upsetting. Our instincts are to defend ourselves from the slander. But is that really the best way to deal with it?
Hating Bullies
No one likes a bully. No one. Not even the bully. It is very easy to get mad and angry and even hate bullies, but hating a bully isn’t going to make you feel better.
Self Conciousness
One of the things bullies do is they make us self conscious. They try to convince us that people don’t like us because of something we did or didn’t do. This makes us doubt ourselves. Maybe WE aren’t someone people like. This is what makes us self conscious.
Anxiety about Your Reputation
Bullies prey on our anxieties and make us worry about our reputation. The secret to beating them? Understanding that – they can’t actually ruin your reputation.
